Thank you Thank you Thank you for asking! I am still a newbie but more 'advanced' now but I never really thought about all these things that DO effect my quilting passion. All family has quilts so this year is for me, what I want, colors I chose and freedom to explore new patterns. I also want to try applique. This is my year to 'let it all hang out' so to speak. Wishing all my quilting family the most wonderful quilting year to be.
